Joshua 22:27 in Context — Joshua 22
25 L’Éternel a mis le Jourdain pour limite entre nous et vous, fils de Ruben et fils de Gad; vous n’avez point de part à l’Éternel! Et vos fils seraient ainsi cause que nos fils cesseraient de craindre l’Éternel.
26 C’est pourquoi nous avons dit: Bâtissons-nous donc un autel, non pour des holocaustes et pour des sacrifices,
27 mais comme un témoin entre nous et vous, entre nos descendants et les vôtres, que nous voulons servir l’Éternel devant sa face par nos holocaustes et par nos sacrifices d’expiation et d’actions de grâces, afin que vos fils ne disent pas un jour à nos fils: Vous n’avez point de part à l’Éternel!
28 Nous avons dit: S’ils tiennent dans l’avenir ce langage à nous ou à nos descendants, nous répondrons: Voyez la forme de l’autel de l’Éternel, qu’ont fait nos pères, non pour des holocaustes et pour des sacrifices, mais comme témoin entre nous et vous.
29 Loin de nous la pensée de nous révolter contre l’Éternel et de nous détourner aujourd’hui de l’Éternel, en bâtissant un autel pour des holocaustes, pour des offrandes et pour des sacrifices, outre l’autel de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, qui est devant sa demeure!
